Yawm al-Istiqlal

1956: Tunisia shook off 75 years of French colonial rule. Habib Bourguiba, the man who would become president, negotiated independence while wearing a suit that said "I am the future." The military parade down Avenue Habib Bourguiba is matched only by the argument about whether Bourguiba was a hero or a dictator. Both things can be true.

You appreciate Malta's unique species including the Maltese wall lizard, Yelkouan shearwater, and painted frog found on these Mediterranean islands. You see that Maltese households commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as their preferred pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
